Where did you post that patch?

|                  searchForNewFiles( loadedFiles, file );
|          }
|      }
| }
|
| After that you add an entry to the blocklist in your index.xml like that:
|
|   <blocklist>
|    <block file="exclude" />
|   </blocklist>
|
| KPA then will skip /whatever/your_kpa_root/exclude when searching for
| new images. The disadvantage for now is, that you have to add the
| entries with your favorite text editor by hand. Maybe Jesper can add a
| dialog where directories to be exclude can be defined.
